Well, I’m kind of dating myself, but does anyone remember Doug Kittredge I used to buy all my archery equipment from him . his shop was in Mammoth Lakes, California. Lakes California? I also knew a man named Jack Howard, who made Bows. I went on an Alaskan hunt with Jack. Does anyone remember these guys from the old days?

I wondering who on this page has experience with single bevel broadheads? I have 300 grain tuff heads, but have not harvested an animal with them. I found out they are the opposite bevel to my feathers. who out there has recommendations for different single bevel recommendations.

For traditional deer hunting, do you guys prefer hunting a tree stand or from the ground? What is most effective?

As I write this, please know my goal is only to inspire. Although I've been hunting my whole life, I feel a tinge of sadness whenever I shoot a deer. My family and I only eat venison and wild pig for red meat, so I try and tag out my six deer each season to ensure we have enough meat for the whole year. I have discovered that by using absolutely as much of the deer as possible, I feel like I am honoring the life I have taken. One skill I have mastered is oak tanning each hide and then using that leather to make various items for hunting. Below is a pic of a stalking quiver I recently finished from a buck I took last season. My next project will be a carrying case for one of my take down bows. If anyone ever wants to trade ideas, I'm always open to suggestions.
